The Lamentation of Jinn on Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali عليه السلام

5 حَدَّثَنِي حَكِيمُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ الْفَزَارِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَزَوَّرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ لَيْلَى وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ نَوْحَ الْجِنِّ عَلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّع وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ- يَا عَيْنُ جُودِي بِالدُّمُوعِ فَإِنَّمَا * * * يَبْكِي الْحَزِينُ بِحُرْقَةٍ وَ تَفَجُّعٍ يَا عَيْنُ أَلْهَاكِ الرُّقَادُ بِطِيْبِهِ * * * مِنْ ذِكْرِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَوَجُّعٍ بَاتَتْ ثَلَاثاً بِالصَّعِيدِ جُسُومُهُمْ * * * بَيْنَ الْوُحُوشِ وَ كُلُّهُمْ فِي مَصْرَعٍ
5. Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd ibn Ḥukaym narrated to me from Salamah, from Ayyūb ibn Sulaymān ibn Ayyūb Al-Fazāri, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥazawwar, who said: I heard Laylā say that she heard the lamentation of Jinn over Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali عليه السلام. She heard them recite the following poem: O eyes! Shed abundant tears over Ḥusain عليه السلام, for verily the grieved ones cry with agony. O eyes! Do not allow the people of Madīnah to distract you from remembering the family of Muḥammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and (weeping) over their agonies. Their bodies were left for three days on the desert where they were martyred (and their bodies were left) among the beasts.
